Fantastic hostel with free breakfast. A converted colonial building with a garden and sun terrace. Our double room was excellent value, had an en-suite and well decorated. Lots of extra blankets for the cold evenings. More

This hostel is a great place to stay, the dorms are roomy, there is a rooftop patio, free salsa lessons with a great instructor, free amazing breakfast, wifi, tv with free movies... Plus a bonfire to heat you up before going to bed. Go there if you happen to go to San Cristobal, because it is TOTALLY worth it. More
